[Faith-talk] hair, modesty and Christian living

[Jeanette]

yes it does say that, but i think if you take care of your hair, look clean 
and decent it makes no difference how long or short it is, i just think 
people make a big deal out of little things instead of concentrating on the 
important things about being aChristian, legalsim is just something that 
turns a lot of folks off to Christianity, i have had a lot  of nonbelievers 
tell me that rules and regulatinos seem too much for them to deal with

Actually:
you know that in 1 Corinthians 11, that it says that your hair is your
crowning glory.
The apostle Paul taught this.
BTW, Crystal's hair was as long as always, in 2008, when we heard her
at the Grand Ole Opry.
Blessings, Joshua
